Nobody's winning here
Denise Richards admitted in her autobiography that her then-fiancé, Charlie Sheen, surprised her with a tribute tattoo during their engagement.

Keith Urban is all about Nicole now
Before Keith Urban was a family man alongside Nicole Kidman, he was a regular rockstar. He had the Latin phrase "Omnia Vincit Amor" meaning "love conquers all" tattooed with his then-girlfriend.

Johnny Depp is a wino forever
Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder famously dated in the 1990s. He was spotted rocking a "Winona Forever" tattoo on his bicep during their relationship.
Later in his career, he had the tattoo modified to read "Wino Forever," which isn't exactly surprising considering his open love for wine.

He later was spotted with a dark tattoo cover up that reads "CURSED."

Johnny Depp didn't learn
Johnny Depp didn't learn from his Winona Ryder tattoo incident because when he was briefly married to Amber Heard he got her nickname "SLIM" tattooed across his knuckles.
After their bitter and extremely public divorce and defamation lawsuit, Johnny was spotted with the tattoo altered to say "SCUM" and "SCAM."
Demi Lovato kissed those lips goodbye
